National Institute of Justice

Description

The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is the research, development, and evaluation agency of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and a component of the Office of Justice Programs (OJP). NIJ provides objective, independent, evidence-based knowledge and tools to enhance the administration of justice and public safety. NIJ solicits applications to inform its search for the knowledge and tools to guide policy and practice. NIJ seeks proposals to conduct an evaluation of human trafficking demonstration programs that will be funded by the Office for Victims of Crimes (OVC) under a concurrent FY09 solicitation. Specifically, the successful grantee will conduct a participatory process evaluation of two OVC demonstration programs that will be chosen based on their promising strategies to deliver a comprehensive array of services to child victims (i.e., under age 18) of human trafficking who are U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents.
